Hi,

The reason for weight loss during typhoid is due to protein degradation and loss of appetite. I suggest you can have protein rich food like milk , egg whites, chicken and if you are a vegetarian go for broccoli, pulses, soya bean. Your diet should be rich in vitamins and minerals so have fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drink good amount of water to flush out toxins. You could increase your appetite by having soups with a tea spoon of butter. Please have small meals every 3 hours. You should get back to your appropriate weight soon.
